In the online world, it's hard to remember a time before Amazon.
Today, it dominates the ecommerce space, and is rapidly becoming equally
dominant in the ebook world. Against that background, a story that
broke yesterday is rather worrying.

About Me

I have been a technology journalist and consultant for 30 years, covering
the Internet since March 1994, and the free software world since 1995.

One early feature I wrote was for Wired in 1997:
The Greatest OS that (N)ever Was.
My most recent books are Rebel Code: Linux and the Open Source Revolution, and Digital Code of Life: How Bioinformatics is Revolutionizing Science, Medicine and Business.
